Would Luis Castillo Be A Decent Fit?

So according to some idiot that makes up and writes/reports rumors for a living for FOX, the mets really want to get rid of Luis Castillo.  As you may or may not know, Castillo is signed until 2011 at 6 million per year.  Just offhand I remember a few articles mentioning how the mets organization wasn't too thrilled with his work ethic and how well he maintains his body.  Two big red flags.  Looking at the numbers he's solid in getting on base.  He's got a bit of speed left in him.  He seems to either been injured or just benched because of the aforementioned unhappiness of the organization with him because his at bats are limited to just under 300.  I believe his defensive rep isn't that great but that would probably still mean he's a tad better than Kent's defense last season.

On the other hand, Castillo has publicly begged not to be traded and has reportedly worked out like he should have been doing the last few years or so after he signed that deal with the mets.  He could totally give up once traded or work even harder to show the mets they made a mistake in not sticking with him.  

I'd want him except for that onerous contract.  6 million isn't that big to a big market team like the dodgers, but they have too many other mistakes on the books to take Castillo as a stopgap second baseman until the younger players sort themselves out.  He would be the third hardest to trade member of the team behind Andruw Jones and Juan Pierre.

So as nice as it would be to stick Blake DeWitt at third base and abandon the sheep in wolves clothing that are the third base free agents, I think the dodgers should pass on a cheaply obtainable second baseman with a fugly contract.

Just imagine Frank McCourt calling the Suze Orman show during the 'Can I afford it?' segment and trying to justify adding a 6 million dollar second baseman.  You managed to do that?  You've got a better imagination than I do then.
